Home My WebLink About6 - Amendment to Resolution 89-37 & 89-27 AGENDA NUMBER: PREPARED BY: SUBJECT: DATE: INTRODUCTION: DISCUSSION: CENSUS '90 . 6 DAVID J. UNMACHT, CITY MANAGER CONSIDER AMENDMENT TO RESOLUTION 89-37 AND 89-27 FEBRUARY 5, 1990 On November 6, 1989, the City Council adopted Ordinance #89-03 relating to parking restrictions in public launch sites. Together with adopting Ordinance #89-03, the City Council adopted Resolution 89-37 and 89-27, Resolutions on Setting Parking Restrictions in the Beach Lane and Dewitte access areas. Parking restrictions in the Sand Point Beach access area are pending based on a future Informational Meeting to be held with the neighbors. The purpose of this item is to consider an amendment to the Resolutions which would provide for a change in the signs which are proposed to be located near the access areas. Enclosed ~lease find a copy of a memo from Police Ch~ef, Dick Powell. Powell, together with Public Works Director, Larry Anderson, are concerned about the increasing number of signs which are required to be placed based on adoption of these Resolutions. After internal discussion, staff feels strongly that the City should consider signs which limit "No Parking" for vehicles with trailers and "No Parkin9" for trailers as opposed to "No Parking" ~n general for all vehicles and trailers. Staff believes that this is the best solution because it will do the following: l. Resolve the problem that we are addressing, which is: individuals parking on residential streets and accessing the lake. This tfpe of parking interferes with local veh~cular movement and could be detrimental to the health and safety of the residents. 2. Prevent future public relations citizen reaction problems, which likely to occur based on proliferation of these signs which placed in the neighborhoods.

(612) 4474230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 To: Dave Unmacht Dick Powell Public Access Sign January 26, 1990 From: Re: Date: During the past several years the City of Prior Lake has experienced a number of parking problems in the DeWitte Avenue public access area. The area is generally posted "no parking" which greatly inconveniences the local residents. Special dispensation must be granted by the police chief for parking in posted areas. This frequently happens during spring high school graduation, Christmas parties and other social events. Granting dispensation is often tricky and sometimes impossible. When we are at the height of summer problems special dispensations send the wrong signal to parkers, some of which are from Prior Lake. It is my recommendation that we consider placing alternate signs in the boat access areas. These signs would be similar to the photo in this memo. The signs would prohibit trailer parking or parking of trailers on streets in the access area. This would allow the residents more freedom to park their own cars and allow their friends to park on the access street during busy time periods at the lake. Alternate signs would also improve the City's public relations with residents in the access area because police could more specifically get at the problem. Expensive fines in the area of no parking could easily be incorporated in the plan. I strongly recommend we consider this sign idea.
